Peripheral leukocyte counts were examined in venous blood of more than 800 male workers exposed to toluene, xylenes, a combination of the two, or neither. Information on the social habits of smoking and drinking was obtained in an occupational health interview. The analysis showed that smoking (15 cigarettes/day on average) induced a significant increase (by 7%) in leukocyte counts, and that an additional increase was induced when the drinking habit was coupled with smoking. Drinking alone tended to increase the leukocyte counts but the effect was statistically nonsignificant, possibly because the number of nondrinking smokers was limited. The study stresses the importance of paying attention to smoking and drinking habits when evaluating hematological parameters such as peripheral leukocyte counts in solvent-exposed workers.
对800多名接触甲苯、二甲苯、两者混合物或两者都不接触的男性工人的静脉血进行了外周白细胞计数检查。在职业健康访谈中获取了吸烟和饮酒等社会习惯信息。分析表明，吸烟（平均每天15支）导致白细胞计数显著增加（增加7%），而且当饮酒习惯与吸烟同时存在时会导致白细胞计数进一步增加。单独饮酒倾向于使白细胞计数增加，但这种影响在统计学上不显著，可能是因为不饮酒吸烟者的数量有限。该研究强调，在评估溶剂接触工人的外周白细胞计数等血液学参数时，关注吸烟和饮酒习惯的重要性。
